Cybernator is a game for Super Nintendo. You play as a giant mech suit., and you shoot at things and blow them up. It's a damn fun game, having been made by Konami in the early 90s, when they were untouchable, but it's also really, really dang hard. For starters, the controls come with a … Continue reading Why Do I Suck At Cybernator?

I've been running Hoard of the Dragon Queen for my Raleigh Dungeons & Dragons crew. I had played through it with my Chicago group a few years ago, and I thought it was plenty of fun – it has some cool fights, and that's really all I would ask of any D&D module – so … Continue reading On Railroading

Been kinda quiet here lately – I've been too caught up in Baldur's Gate and doing Dungeon Master prep to get much in the way of writing done. Such are hobbies; occasionally, they fall by the wayside to make room for uh...other hobbies. I am working on a far too long post about the band … Continue reading Grab Bag – 6/17/19

The first-generation Pokemon games are glaring exceptions to this, as is Link's Awakening, but for the most part, time and the nostalgia machine have moved on from the system. This is pretty understandable – even the best … Continue reading Metroid II: An Appreciation

The Midwest is a simple place. It's cold in the winter (more or less), warm in the summer (again, more or less), and that's pretty much it. There are four actual seasons. Sometimes it snows, and when that happens, it does not give rise to public disorder. It's great! The South, though. Good lord. The … Continue reading Too Hot!

In Part Two, I examined each of the three Good alignments in detail, and I did the same for the Neutral alignments in Part Three. In this installment, … Continue reading Introduction to Alignments, Part Four

In Part Two, I examined each of the three Good alignments in detail. In this installment, I will be examining the Neutral alignments. I'll take a closer look … Continue reading Introduction to Alignments, Part Three

Welp, it's 5 PM Eastern time on Sunday. I have the house to myself. The pre-show starts in an hour, and, because my wife is the owner of access to HBO, I'm not watching the Game of Thrones finale until tomorrow anyway. (Spoiler alert: It almost certainly sucked). So here I am, I guess. Historically, … Continue reading Money in the Bank 2019 – A Wrestling-Fueled Descent Into Intoxicated Madness
